I identified the specific line that breaks it for me which is the "pdfjs. This is using the [driver. After some more testing I understand what you intended now. These two lines from what you posted is what I used. The first one disabled the pdf viewer like you intended , and the second one disabled the prompt. Without clicking on an element I was able to download the pdf. I'm not sure how to get it to work with my iframe issue but with a straight up pdf URL this works great thanks!

Perhaps if you want to override the user's preferences then octet-stream would be the way to go, but giving the correct type and a suggested filename is the "correct" way to provide a download.
So my question is should the content type be set before uploading? And also, we get only a link from the backend team, a url that gives the file path, that we open in new tab using:window.
Kailas I don't understand what you're trying to do.. These headers have no effect on a file upload, you need to have the code behind the url set the headers every time it is downloaded by the client. ColinM Thanks buddy, you said it right, the issue when we debugged was the mime type was set while uploading the files. This should be done by the back-end team. I tried to get codes on how to add headers in java script but was not successful.
Thanks, as I got the real idea cleared from you Show 5 more comments. It uses the custom filename specified on the view side. Christophe Roussy Christophe Roussy Akshay Akshay 2, 3 3 gold badges 32 32 silver badges 70 70 bronze badges.
This page will outline how to make the browser download PDF files automatically, rather than open them in a new tab. To proceed, select your browser from the list below and follow the instructions. To change the name of a PDF file you want to download, right-click the download link and select Save As.
Click the menu button and select Settings. If you want Firefox to always ask you what to do with PDF files, follow the above steps to change the action for the Portable Document Format PDF entry, except select Always ask from the drop-down menu. The next time you click on a link to download a PDF file, Firefox will show you a prompt asking what to do with the file.
You can then choose to open it with Firefox's built-in PDF viewer, open it with a different PDF application, or you can choose to save the file. For more information, see Change what Firefox does when you click on or download a file.
